Vegetable Pulao(without onions and garlic)

The addition of onions and garlic will make any dish flavorful and delicious. Some don't include them on auspicious days and festivals. You can try this vegetable pulao on one of those days. It can be made in less than 20 minutes if you have cooked rice.

Ingredients:

Oil-4 tbsp

Ghee-1 tbsp

Cloves-5

Cinnamon-2 inch stick

Red chilli powder-a pinch

Basmati Rice-3/4 cup

Water-1.5 cups

Method:
Rinse the rice. Add water and cook. The grains should be separate. Set aside.
Heat oil and ghee in a wide pan.
Add ingredients 3 to 9 one by one. When cashews turn golden brown, add potato and chopped beans. Close the lid, lower the heat and let it cook for 5-6 minutes.
Now add cabbage, carrot and capsicum.
Sprinkle sat, red chilli powder. Fry for 6-7 minutes.
